The SV is out in the cold again.... - SV650.org

...coz I got this!

Well, not that one as I've not been able to get a pic of mine yet - but pretty much exactly like it.

After being all sensible and thinking I'd get another bike early next year.....temptation got the better of me! I'm a sucker for a good looker.

It was just way tooo good to pass up!! This thing is minted, and so it should be with only 900miles on the clock when i picked it up. Unbeliveably I'm the 3rd owner! It's bloomin lovely to look at, and very nice to ride of course.

It's good to have a rumbling v-twin again. Just needs Akra's.

Now, where's all these rideouts?

I love that nose murdo, glad you're back on 2 wheels

Mmm thats lovely.

That nose is surprisingly effective too. Didn't feel much windblast until really silly speeds, by which time my arms and neck cried "enough"!!!

Well it appears to be some kind of badly street-fightered RSV-R. Maybe you get some cheap fairing lowers and clip-ons off ebay and put it back to stock?

Wait a minute...

Very, very nice Murdo.

I look forward to seeing it at Applecross 2010.

Good choice of manufacturing country but wrong choice of make

Seriously, glad to hear you gave in to temptation

Congrats Murdo,if its like Gecco's Aprilla it doesn't like going slow and the faster you go the more planted it feels.ENJOY.

Very nice indeed - was tempted by a Tuono but I had my sensible hat on! Welcome to the 1000cc V-twin club
